The purpose of the current study is to examine whether “learning by Zoom” or e-learning was a short-term temporary solution or whether there is a real chance that distance teaching and learning will become a teaching technique in the post-COVID era. What is teachers’ personal preference for e-learning with regard to interpersonal interaction with the students, the benefits of e-learning for students, as well as interest, order, organization, and clarity in teaching. Moreover, the effectiveness of e-teaching was examined from a multicultural perspective – at schools in Israel, the hi-tech state, and in Belarus, where the culture of the book is a major symbol. We explored the perceptions of teachers in Israel and in Belarus on four measures: personal preferences, advantages and disadvantages for teaching and learning, measures of good teaching (interest, order, and organization), and interpersonal interactions between the teacher, the students, and the faculty. E-teaching is not an alternative for traditional education but does generate a new reality that facilitates great improvements and advantages but produces new challenges for the educational system.
